Flying High at iFly Cincinnati!2 min read

There is no feeling quite like flying… I’ve always wanted to jump out of a plane and soar while most likely squeezing the life out of a trained skydiving instructor! Well, I did the 101 of this at the new and amazing iFly Cincinnati. I was still a little nervous but after meeting my instructor, Nick aka Palmer and watching my group “drop-in” one by one, I got so excited. It doesn’t take too long to adjust when you are in the tunnel for the first time, except you can learn the hard way that smiling too much is probably not so good…. just saying… a little more “spit” than expected). Hahaha. The instructors help you with the proper moves and guide you as you go up and down. They teach you how your arm movement helps you change direction to the right and left. The second time in the tunnel they show you how to go up high. WOW, what a feeling! Everyone seems to have the same reaction when they come out of the tunnel…” That was awesome”.  Even the guy in my group who had jumped from planes hundreds to times was psyched.

The whole experience is about an hour and a half from the time you watch the mandatory

safety video, suit up and fly. The more you visit, the better you get! I want to be able to do flips so bad, so I’ll be back! The best part is this is something for everyone ages 3 and up. There is an observation area all around the tunnel for your non-fly friends. They will probably end up doing it the next time you go… just saying.

One thing I should mention, because I think it is amazing, is that it is limitless so it is an inclusive experience for anyone! They fly with people with physical challenges. I would think this must be an incredible experience!

Teachers–check out their outings for schools which incorporates a STEM program. This looked interesting to me as it is such a hands-on, immersive opportunity. They also have a cool virtual reality fly so you can take it up a notch and fly around the world and more. You have to check this place out it is fun for everyone!
